We're thrilled to invite you to our next meetup, a joint event with the **[Zurich Apache Kafka®](https://www.meetup.com/zurich-apache-kafka-meetup-by-confluent/)** community 💥 Many thanks to our great friends at **[Sunrise](https://www.sunrise.ch/)**, who have kindly offered to host us at their office 🫶 🗓️ March 9, 2026 📍[Sunrise](https://www.sunrise.ch/): Ambassador House\, Thurgauerstrasse 101B\, 8152 Glattpark \(Opfikon\) \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2pLV5duBYj3vwdDt5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2pLV5duBYj3vwdDt5) St. Gallen meeting room 📕 **Agenda** **18:00 - 18:30:** Open doors **18:30 - 18:40:** Meetup introduction & some words from the host **18:40 - 19:20:** Talk 1 **19:20 - 19:45:** Talk 2 **20:00 - 21:00:** Pizzas & Networking **21:00 - 21:10:** Event and venue closure 1️⃣ **"Supercharging Grafana with Community Plugins"** by **[Luis Colman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/luiscolman/)** (Solutions Engineer at **[Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/)**), **[Imma Valls](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imma-valls/)** (Staff Developer Advocate at **[Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/)).** Grafana is powerful on its own, but its true potential lies in its vibrant community of plugin developers. In this talk, we'll dive into how community plugins extend Grafana's core functionality, enabling you to connect to a broader range of data sources and visualize your data in new ways. We'll introduce the **[Kafka Data Source plugin](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/hamedkarbasi93-kafka-datasource/)** as a practical example, demonstrating how it enables you to query and visualize Kafka topic data directly in your dashboards, without requiring intermediate storage or external services. 2️⃣ **"From Stream to Table: Building Kafka-to-Iceberg Pipelines"**, by **[Will Martin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-p-martin/)** is the EMEA Evangelist at **[Dremio](https://www.dremio.com/)**. While Kafka excels at streaming data, the real challenge lies in making that data analytically useful without sacrificing consistency or performance. This talk explores why Apache Iceberg has emerged as the ideal streaming destination, offering ACID transactions, schema evolution, and time travel capabilities that traditional data lakes can't match. Learn about some foundational tools that enable streaming pipelines and why they all converge on this next-generation table format built for flexibility and scalability. We are looking forward to seeing you 🎉!

\>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/ **– *Understand our differences and connect in conflict* –** In this course, we explore together how we can be with each other in our differences. We learn how to communicate more effectively with our loved ones, colleagues and even with people who share opposite opinions. * How can I feel understood, even when you see things differently? * How can I connect with people who think, feel, or live differently from me? * How to navigate conflict without losing myself or the other? * How to meet diversity with curiosity instead of fear? Before connecting with others, we get to know ourselves: Find out what is behind our triggers and judgments, identify our feelings and needs. This inner clarity strengthens our self empowerment and the ability to meet others on eye level instead of betraying ourself, giving up our wishes, or dominating the conversation. We learn to better understand each other in our differences and invite cooperation. We explore movements beyond polarizing debates, while staying true to ourselves, so we can belong a bit more rather than merely fit in. ## We research how to: * Listen more deeply to ourself and gain inner clarity about our needs and what really matters to us * Realise when we need self care before connecting with others * Find inner clarity when we’re triggered * Stand honestly for our needs, express our wishes and invite cooperation * Grow capacity in understanding other viewpoints * See the beautiful messages behind our judgments and the judgments of others * Be in conflict with care and connection **Facilitation Style:** During each session, we offer theoretical input, live demonstrations, group discussions, and two to three guided exercises. We share insights and tips inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by [Yoram Mosenzon](https://www.connecting2life.net/trainer/yoram-mosenzon/) and Marshall Rosenberg. But foremost we invite you to find your own way. To develop your own communication style with your inner parts and your fellow humans. Part of the sessions will be shaped by the wishes and interests of the group. We might offer themed evenings that dive deeper into specific areas of diversity where staying connected can be difficult (such as race, gender, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, mental health, illness and disability, diet, relationship styles, cultural background, political views, and our ways of relating to money and consumption,…) or explore more depth some conflict situation. You’re warmly invited to bring your personal situations so we can work with concrete, lived experiences. \>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/
